In order to commemorate the "918" not to forget the national shame, and thank the majority of book friends for their support, we will contribute the saved manuscripts, and the insufficient part of the manuscript should also be filled, and the daily double update this week.

When the large army arrived, it had already explored the terrain near Gaoyou Lake clearly, and the troops were stationed, fortifications, and food and materials were raised, everything was in order, and they quickly entered a state of imminent battle.

Liu Mao'er is an acute son, after the troops are properly stationed, they immediately launched an operation to clear the surrounding devil strongholds, with the combat effectiveness of Liu Maoer's men, it is not a problem to uproot the devil squad and squad-level strongholds, and soon opened up a large base area with Gaoyou Lake as the center, seized some weapons and equipment, and expanded more than 2,000 people, but the weapons and equipment were not enough.

These are not difficult for Liu Maoer. Yangzhou is a rich land, there are many firecracker workshops, and the bosses and men of more than 20 firecracker workshops were captured by Liu Maoer, and they built their own earthen arsenals, and used the black powder stored in the firecracker workshop and the military explosives they brought, and they produced a batch of clay pot grenades, mines, as well as oversized two-kicking ---- earth flying mines, as well as flying thunder launchers transformed from devil gasoline barrels. Each recruit has a pike dart, 10 clay pot grenades, and 10 earth flying mines.

Liu Maoer assigned the recruits to the second and third battalions, and served as garrison tasks while training, while the first battalion was not expanded, maintaining all standard weapons as a mobile force.

Yangzhou has an open area, and the devil's troops are not enough, so the surrounding ** and the New Fourth Army have their own territory, but the devil is still the strongest military presence in this region, and every time the grain harvest season, it is inevitable to loot. When Liu Maoer's troops arrived at Gaoyou Lake, the devils had just collected their troops from grabbing food, and almost every village had new graves. Fortunately, Liu Maoer had already prepared to establish an earthen arsenal and temporarily passed the level of weapons and equipment, but the problems of training and supply were not completely solved. Thereupon. After the initial consolidation of the base area, Liu Maoer decided to launch a combat operation against the Japanese army, with the purpose of seizing supplies and materials, training in battle, and training new soldiers.

The Yangzhou devils got the information that the northbound brigade was growing stronger, and also sent a wing to prepare to weaken the Wumu army and strive to nip the Wumu army's northbound brigade in the bud.

The two sides met on the outskirts of Gaoyou Lake. The devils relied on the 12 Type 92 infantry guns, 36 heavy machine guns, light machine guns, grenadiers and other powerful firepower attached to the wing to launch a fierce attack; Liu Mao'er had no heavy weapons, and it was an encounter, so they could only send a small number of troops to resist and block, and the large troops retreated first, and then relied on excellent earthwork skills to dig deep bunkers and trenches to stubbornly resist.

In less than two days, the troops were compressed by the devils to the area around the artillery towers and strongholds occupied by the more than a dozen northbound brigades in the early stage. Liu Mao'er was also caught off guard by the scheduled offensive battle turned into an encounter battle, and then into a defensive war, most of the troops were new recruits, and their psychological quality, combat technology, and combat experience were all facing a great test, and because the troops were scattered, they were divided and surrounded by devils around more than a dozen artillery towers, and they could not be contacted, and the devils also freed up some of their forces to attack the core area of the base area, and Liu Maoer suddenly fell into a predicament.

In desperation, Liu Maoer deployed overnight, leaving a company of the first battalion to lay mines at the predetermined location to block the devils in the outer area of Gaoyou Lake; The guards and soldiers of the company were divided into three routes, jumped out of the encirclement, and attacked the devil's headquarters at all levels, logistics baggage, artillery, and heavy machine gun positions separately to reduce the pressure on the front-line troops; He personally led two companies of the first battalion to concentrate firepower and launch a counterattack on the devils, breaking the division and encirclement of the devils and gathering the troops.

The captain of the Devil Wing, Sano Yoshio, could not have imagined that the Shina Army would have such combat power, and with its rudimentary weapons, it would rather resist than retreat, and it could resist for such a long time.

In fact, the reason why the northbound brigade has been able to resist the devils for so long is that in addition to the fierce exemplary role of the veterans of the Wumu Army, the training is well-trained in peacetime, and the combat plan is fully prepared, the will to fight of the recruits is fully stimulated, because behind them is their homeland, their fathers, brothers and sisters, and the houses and land they rely on for survival.

The soldiers relied on the light machine guns on the turret, and used the trenches, anti-artillery holes, and various pre-set limited favorable terrain to kill the devils in the dark.

Ma Liuji stronghold, a new company and devils are fighting fiercely. The new company only has 3 light machine guns, 6 Qiguang type, 3 grenade machine guns, 24 38 type rifles, and in the face of the devil, an integrated squad of 3 light machine guns, 3 grenadier canisters, 30 rifles, plus the advantage of the number and terrain, it is still evenly matched, but most of the Wu Mu army are new soldiers, and most of the turret was blown up by the 92-type infantry artillery supported by the devil's fire, only 1 light machine gun left, only 3 Qiguang type left, and only 2 grenade machine guns left, and the devil has 1 heavy machine gun to provide fire support outside the range of the Wu Mu army.

Company commander Liang Zisheng is a student soldier of the former Northwest Army, only 22 years old, after the training of the teaching team, just promoted to the company commander, as a soldier he is also experienced in a hundred battles, but the experience of commanding the battle is insufficient, as soon as he came up, he was knocked out by the devil 2 light machine guns fell into passivity, he had to order the whole company to stick to the battle plan, light machine guns, strange light, grenade machine guns to swim out to attack, maintain firepower.

As the war dragged on, Liang Zisheng calmed down. He wandered around the positions of each squad and platoon, and found that the devils had few troops and only concentrated on the open ground in front of the turret to attack, so he adjusted his troops and focused on defending the front.

The devils attacked again under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, and the Wu Mu army hid in the trenches and did not move, waiting for the devils to rush to within 100 meters, throwing pieces of clay pot grenades, and then all kinds of guns shot through smoke screens and dust to kill and injure the infantry attacking by the devils; When the smoke screen dispersed, Wu Mujun threw a clay pot grenade again, stirring up the smoke screen and blocking the view of the devil's light and heavy machine guns.

Due to the low lethality of Wu Mujun's clay pot grenades, the devils only killed 10 people after several attacks, but almost everyone was wounded, and the leader of the devil squad was also anxious, and ordered all the troops to participate in the attack, and the light machine guns followed the infantry to attack and provide close fire support.

Liang Zisheng, at the suggestion of the veteran, decided to give full play to the advantage of numbers, let the devil in, and start hand-to-hand combat, so that the devil's machine gun fire could be suppressed.

The devils rushed through the sparse barrage of the Wu Mu army again, they had rich combat experience, and knew that the Wu Mu army did not even have many native grenades, so they bravely rushed into the Wu Mu army's position and started hand-to-hand combat.

Wu Mujun's melee weapon is a pike dart, which is more than 2 feet longer than the devil's rifle, and the soldiers are well-trained, and the devil was quickly slaughtered, and Tu Feilei also knocked out the light machine gun that the devil followed, leaving only the devil's lonely heavy machine gun position in the distance.

When the devil's infantry was slaughtered, the heavy machine guns in the distance of the devil brought many casualties to the Wu Mu army, and Liang Zisheng hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected.

Facing the devil's lonely heavy machine gun position, Liang Zisheng gritted his teeth and ordered a platoon to be divided into 9 battle groups to surround him. Every 3 members of the battle team attacking the devils carried a special steel pot made by the Wu Mu Army, and approached the devil's heavy machine gun with rifles and clay pot grenades.

Seeing that the devil collected the crane gun, the soldiers of Wu Mujun picked up the devil's light machine gun and rifle, and chased after him with confidence, and soon wiped out the devil's heavy machine gun squad.

Just as the Wumu army gathered its troops, the devil's cavalry search team rushed to reinforce them, and they rushed through the stragglers on the periphery of the stronghold and went straight to the turret to kill.

At this time, Liang Zisheng had already adapted to the battlefield environment, and his heart was clear. Immediately ordered the first-line troops to pick up the shuttle dart to make a rejection of the red deer, and the second-line quick-gun shot the devil cavalry.

When the devil cavalry rushed into the turret, there were only horses and no one left, and the Wu Mu army also sacrificed more than a dozen soldiers.

At the cost of 17 killed, 29 seriously wounded, and 47 lightly wounded, Liang Zisheng annihilated an infantry squad, a cavalry squad, a heavy machine gun squad, and 96 devils, and captured 1 heavy machine gun, 6 light machine guns, 6 grenadiers, 64 rifles, 16 pistols, grenades, ammunition, 30 sabers, 21 war horses, and 9 dead horses......

Liu Maoer led a battalion to rush left and right, relieved the siege of 4 or 5 strongholds, and only one company of troops was left at hand, and the people came to Liang Zisheng's position in a sleepy manner.

The guard company jumped to the outside line and turned back to the battlefield, only to find that the devil's transport team, artillery team, and heavy machine gun team were scattered to various battlefields, so they also scattered in squads to sneak attack where there was gunfire. After two days and two nights of fighting, the guards destroyed three artillery positions of the devils, captured two Type 92 infantry guns, destroyed five heavy machine gun positions, captured five heavy machine guns, destroyed three squads of the transport team, captured 11 carts, and supplied a number of ammunition.

After listening to Liang Zisheng's report, Liu Maoer realized that hand-to-hand combat was a way to take advantage, and he immediately ordered the communication troops to popularize Liang Zisheng's tactics to all troops, and at the same time ordered the qualified troops to assemble in Wang Fuji and Maijiachang around Maliuji.

Unexpectedly, all the troops claimed that they could not retreat, so they could only hold on to the spot. Liu Mao'er has to be repaid, and she is not angry: these grandsons have a trick, and if they can fight the devil, no one will fucking retreat, and Lao Tzu will not be easy to speak!

At this time, the Wu Mu army in each stronghold almost uniformly weakened their defensive firepower, let the devils rush into the position, and then started hand-to-hand combat.

Sano Yoshio just received a report, several attack points have broken into the position of the Shina people, can't help but be overjoyed, and then the news of the hand-to-hand combat of the various departments came, Sano Yoshio couldn't help laughing, and later, it was reported that the troops lost a large number of infantry in hand-to-hand combat, Sano Yoshio couldn't laugh, he asked carefully about the battle, realized that he had fallen into the trap of the Shina people, and immediately ordered the troops to assemble at the wing headquarters. By this time, the devils had lost more than 1,000 infantry.

When Sano Yoshio gathered up his troops, he found that the infantry had lost one-half, the artillery and baggage troops had also lost one-third, and the wounded soldiers accounted for one-third of the total troops, trapped on the two large mounds of Shuangwangdui, and the Wumu army followed, alas, this battle could not be fought! Yoshio Sano had no choice but to ask the headquarters for help, while resisting desperately.

Because the Wu Mu army was still lacking in heavy firepower, Liu Maoer had to order the troops to dig trenches far away, trap the devils, and wait for the night battle to be launched after dark.

Sano Yoshio received an order from the commander that he must hold on to Shuangwangdui, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and roll human sushi for the Chinese army.

As soon as the sky was dark, the Wu Mu Army's charge was up and down, but the Wu Mu Army did not attack with the charge every time, but Sano Yoshio did not dare to slack off, and every time he fired a flare to prevent the Shina people from attacking, once there was a hand-to-hand fight, the imperial army would be in a mess, and the position would not be secured.

Although Wu Mujun failed to break through the devil's position, it was also less than 500 meters away from the devil's position. In the middle of the night, the devil's flares were exhausted, and the position of the artillery position was completely under the control of the Wu Mu army, and the raid and harassment battle continued all night, and the sharp soldiers had penetrated within 100 meters of the devil's forward position.

It was dawning, and Liu Maoer fired two red flares. So thousands of earth flying thunder from the Wu Mu army covered the devil's position, and at the same time, the troops launched a decisive attack, followed by the attack of earth flying thunder is the attack of earth grenades, followed by hand-to-hand combat, and the situation that Sano Yoshio fears the most still happened.

Sanno Yoshio had long been prepared for a melee hand-to-hand fight, he gathered the wounded, loaded them on the carts of the baggage team, and concentrated all the light machine guns to open the way to break through, the heavy machine guns were responsible for covering the breakthrough operation, and the baggage and artillery were ready to blast and self-destruct at any time. Helplessly, the speed of Wu Mujun's rush was too fast, and the direction of the impact was also launched at the same time, Sano Yoshio only rushed out of less than 1,000 people, and most of the baggage was lost to Wu Mujun.

Liu Maoer didn't care about cleaning up the captured materials, and immediately sent troops to meet the ambulance team sent by Xishan, which was a request he made to Xishan as soon as the war fell into passivity.

In this battle, Liu Maoer's northbound brigade lost more than 800 people and seriously wounded more than 1,400 people, and only 71 people of nearly 4,000 troops were not injured.

An ambulance team of more than 200 people sent by the Xishan side was also busy for three days and two nights before all the wounded were treated simply. However, the local people sent a large number of medicines, chickens, ducks, fish, meat, and food, and many ordinary people participated in caring for the wounded and burying the remains of the soldiers, and many people stayed to join the army and militia.

The devil's reinforcements received the remnants of Sano Yoshio, knowing that the general trend had gone, and it was impossible to encircle and annihilate the Chinese army, so they had to resist the attacks and harassment from the New Fourth Army, **, and local guerrillas and withdraw to Yangzhou.

In fact, if the devils continued to attack the Gaoyou Lake base area, Liu Maoer's northbound brigade had basically lost its combat effectiveness at this time, but the devils had lost their fighting spirit after suffering heavy losses.

Liu Maoer lay in the hospital and summed up the results: 10 infantry guns, 21 heavy machine guns, 57 light machine guns, 81 grenadiers, 1,089 rifles, 231 pistols, more than 8,000 grenades, 110,000 bullets, more than 800 grenades, more than 250 artillery shells, 4 radio stations, 3 telephone exchanges, 11 telephones, a number of medicines, 26 war horses, and 3,029 devils were killed...... Wu Mujun lost 817 people, 1,423 seriously wounded, countless minor injuries, 21 light machine guns, 37 Qiguang type, 19 grenade machine guns, 7 shell guns, 177 rifles, more than 60,000 rounds of ammunition, more than 200 land mines, 11,219 soil grenades, 5,632 earth mines, 21 javelin mines, more than 80,000 catties of grain, 71 livestock, and more than 1,000 chickens and ducks......

In order to thank the local people for their trust and support and reduce the burden on the people, Wu Mujun mobilized the lightly wounded to go to the lake to fish with the people, and also opened up six rooms to select soldiers who know how to craft and hatch duck cubs for the people.

A month later, Liu Maoer's men and horses returned to the size of 4,000 people, and they had heavy weapons, and formed a rack artillery battalion, two rack heavy machine gun battalions, a rack cavalry company, a battalion directly under the brigade, a health team, a special service company, a guard company, a reconnaissance company, three infantry battalions, an arsenal, and a procurement battalion. Liu Maoer did not pay attention to the rules of the game, relying on his good popularity, and asked for a platoon of cavalry, artillery, engineers, and special operations veterans from the units under the headquarters of the Wumu Army, and set up a teaching team to train new recruits, as well as "replenish supplies".

Liu Maoer organized all the special operations veterans into the procurement battalion, which was mainly responsible for "procuring" various materials in the Japanese-occupied areas.
